THE CONTINUING ADVENTURES OF THE SMART, SEXY -- SUPERNATURAL -- WOMEN OF THE OTHERWORLD Eve Levine--half-demon, black witch and devoted mother--has been dead for three years. She has a great house, an interesting love life and can't be killed again -- which comes in handy when you've made as many enemies as Eve. Yes, the afterlife isn't too bad -- all she needs to do is find a way to communicate with her daughter, Savannah, and she'll be happy. But fate--or more exactly, the Fates--have other plans. Eve owes them a favor, and they've just called it in. An evil spirit called the Nix has escaped from hell. She feeds on chaos and death, and is very good at persuading people to kill for her. The Fates want Eve to hunt her down before she does any more damage, but the Nix is a dangerous enemy--previous hunters have been driven insane in the process. As if that's not problem enough, the only way to stop her is with an angel's sword. And Eve is no angel.... Book 5 in the Otherworld series.
WrensReads Review:
I love Eve. I don’t relate to her as much as I do Paige, but I do in the sense that I don’t always see the “nice” or “good” way to do something as the most logical solution.
Eve is dead.
As you would know if you have read the previous books. If you haven’t then STOP READING THIS AND MOVE ON TO THE FIRST BOOK AND WORK YOUR WAY BACK. There is a reason why it is the FIFTH BOOK IN THE SERIES.
Anyway,
Eve is OBSESSED with trying to protect her daughter Savannah. Which is normal for a mother. The only problem is that Savannah is living.. and doesn’t see/hear/feel/smell her mother at all and doesn’t even know that she may have someone watching her at the most inappropriate times.
The Fates are calling in their favor from the last book, and Eve may or may not like this favor. THE NIX is an issue.
This “Nix” is practically a kind of demon that feeds off of chaos. She helps people go through with killing/raping/torturing who wouldn’t usually go through with it and then leaves them to get caught, because more chaos.
For example, Lizzie Borden.
She is loose and it is Eve’s job to stop her before she traps Eve in a hell dimension/finds out what would make Eve stop/finds her way into the real world to raise hell to earth/normal evil things.
I love Kelley Armstrong’s writing and how each main character that she writes has a voice of their own. Eve is WONDERFUL and so is the story that she holds true. I like the afterlife that Armstrong created and I would love to explore that more. I know people are like “UGH SHE ISN’T ELENA I HATE THIS BOOK” but seriously if all 13 of these books were Elena, there would be some really stupid stories. I LOVE ELENA and PAIGE and EVE for who they stand alone as. And I also love that they are connect.
But I am also excited that Elena is back in the next book.
